더 벨 인 호텔(The Bell Inn Hotel)

Beautiful location and a wonderful building and my room was perfect. However the 1st night was awful. the room cost over a 120 per night and mine was facing a conference room where they had a wine tasting evening i believe ..? All i can say the more they drank the loader it got i managed to get to sleep about 1am . I mentioned this in the morning to the receptionist and got will tell the management and heard nothing else. For the kind of money they charged would have expected better . Didnt even get notified that this was happening let alone 5 metres from my room. The food was good but very overpriced and the following day walked 100yds down the road to the the local pub restaurant where the food was better and half the price.overall very disappointed and would not got back or reccomend if in that room.

Helpful, friendly staff in all areas; reception, bar and restaurant. The rooms were well appointed, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and there was a good choice of freshly prepared a la carte fare at a very reasonable price. The location is quiet, but has easy and convenient access to the A13 and A127. We would stay again.

Great place to stay. I had the room named The Garret, it was lovely, bed very comfortable. Will definitely be revisiting this hotel to stay.

Had a great stay ,was in the area visiting friends for the weekend ,room was very clean and comfy

Lovely place with a nice home feeling. Views were fantastic. Customer service at the very high level. Food was outstanding.

Lovely period timber framed building with good sized rooms. The staff were excellent, going above and beyond, and I can thoroughly recommend a stay here.

We spent one night in this characterful and attractive pub, and found the staff and food to be really excellent. Our room was quirky and lovely, with a great bathroom. The only thing which we found disappointing, and the reason I didn’t give the hotel 5 stars, was the noise. When we were shown our room by the lady from reception, she brought us past a private party, which was being held in the conservatory area, and she explained that the party would be finished by 8.30pm. There was a DJ, and the music was extremely loud. Unfortunately, our room was right over this area, and not only could we hear the music from our room, but the whole room was vibrating to the sound, including the bathroom. We had driven quite a long way before our arrival, and had hoped to relax before going for a meal in the restaurant. On our return to our room later that evening, the party had indeed ended, and everything was peaceful, but we both felt that the room shouldn’t have been allocated to us when the noise levels and vibration were so high. It didn’t feel like a useable space for paying guests to inhabit. Whilst we would book at this hotel in the future, I would be making sure that I asked about any private functions in advance.

Lovely room. Staff very helpful. Was here one night for a charity boxing match but could have stayed longer. Will come again.

We stayed during the village's "Feast and Fayre" as we were the resident musicians for the weekend. Everyone at The Bell was incredibly helpful. The housekeeping staff went out of their way to work round our comings and goings, even offering to help us move our instruments. Reception allowed us to check out late, even moving other room allocations around. The room was immaculate and the food was excellent. The weather was exceptionally hot but with a fan provided as standard and with the blinds and shutters we were able to be comfortable. It's a lovely place to stay.
